Lyrics by Daniel Castillo
I still got time
Genres: Country
I must have been around twenty four fresh out of cash and outta hope got canned from my last job 'cause I lacked ambition said my boss while looking at the television so I packed up my bags, said goodbye to the guys Then I went back to the streets looking for a way to survive Oh what could have been if it wasn't for the little things oh, I still got time to figure out what I want from life After a while I turned twenty five and life had already passed me by everyone I knew was ten steps ahead of me but not one of them was where I wanted to be they all carried on in so many directions I couldn't catch them without some motivation Oh what could have been if it wasn't for the little things oh, I still got time to figure out what I want from life Before I knew it I was twenty six living a life I didn't pick my friends were then strangers I never got to meet I'd like to think they were OK without me I found a job I hated but, hey, it did pay and the days wasted away as my hair turned to grey Oh, what could have been if it wasn't for the little things oh, I still got time to figure out what I want from life Now here I am, too old at twenty seven for it to be cute that I am still a rebel but I will not accept that there's no more to life than just working everyday in a senseless grind so excuse me if you will or don't if you won´t but I'm not gonna stop trying to break these bonds Oh, what could have been if it wasn't for the little things oh, I still got time to figure out what I want from life Yeah, I still got time to figure out what I want from life Yeah, I still got time to figure out what I want from life

The lies I tell
Genres: Pop, Soul
I say hello, I shake hands and smile I hide behind Whatever you find You have met me But I never showed Any part of Myself or my soul You think you know Me after a while You believed me But it's all a lie The joke’s on me Because I’m the one Who ends up alone Asking himself why Why can’t you let Someone reach your heart Why do you feel The need to stay apart Apart I have torn My sense and my mind Now not even I Know who I really am I am many things And none of them I’m just a guy Lost inside himself I won’t try to Find a way to tell Who this guy is I can’t face myself It’s too late now To stop being wrong I can’t help it It’s all I’ve known The truth would break More than I can bear I shall stay chained By the lies I tell I am many things And none of them I’m just a guy Lost inside himself I won’t try to Find a way to tell Who this guy is I can’t face myself So don’t believe You ever knew me You only saw What everyone sees The layer of Impressive half truths That I knew you Would think are so cool You would forget To ask yourself What do I know About my old friend Is he alone How is he feeling Is he only What he’s revealing I am many things And none of them I’m just a guy Lost inside himself I won’t try to Find a way to tell Who this guy is I can’t face myself

Palace of glass
Genres: Country, Indie
She lived up in her palace of glass She thought it was nice to have Transparency so she could see But fragility came with it She could not see that stones sometimes Protect us even though they don´t shine And in walked a boy with a smile That shattered the glass with a sigh He saw right through her glass walls And figured out the way to her heart But instead of trying to steal it He threw a rock and fled grinning He brought down the glass all around And the shards fell without a sound They cut her deeply and she bled The tears fell all over her bed She lived up in her palace of glass She thought it was nice to have Transparency so she could see But fragility came with it Whether she learned or just suffered It's over, it already happened And now she´ll just have to pick up The pieces of her palace of glass She lived up in her palace of glass She thought it was nice to have Transparency so she could see But fragility came with it For now she´ll just have to pick up The pieces of her palace of glass
